It’s not a real word, but people make up neologisms like this all the time for temporary use. For example, I could say, “I feel rebukish today,” and people would understand me to mean “I feel like rebuking stuff (or people) today.”

“Rebukish” would be an adjective if it existed.

There isn’t a word such as ‘rebukish’ but there is a word such as ‘rebuk’ and ‘rebuke’, which means to criticize harshly.

all I have in my dictionary is…

rebuke, rebuked, and rebuking as verbs

rebuke as a noun

and…

rebukingly as an adverb

the merriam online dictionary has one more option… rebuker as a noun… but no rebukish

If you are looking for an adjective with a similar meaning… you “could” use ‘reproachable’ or ‘reproachful’
